Cookies Policy

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files or similar data files that are placed on your computer, mobile phone, tablet or other device when you visit a website. They allow a website to recognise a device, remember certain information and support a more consistent browsing experience. Cookies may be placed by the website you are visiting, which are commonly called first-party cookies, or by another service provider whose technology is used on the website, which are commonly called third-party cookies.

Some cookies are stored only while your browser is open. These are often called session cookies and are normally removed when you close your browser. Other cookies remain on your device for a longer period or until you delete them. These are often called persistent cookies. The length of time a cookie remains may depend on its purpose, your browser settings and the settings of the service that placed it.

In addition to cookies, Panda Casino may use related technologies such as pixels, tags, scripts, local storage and similar identifiers. For simplicity, this policy uses the word cookies to refer to cookies and these related technologies where appropriate.

Why cookies matter

Cookies can help websites remember choices, maintain secure sessions, understand how visitors use pages and deliver content that works properly on different devices. They may also help identify technical problems, protect accounts and support responsible operation of online services. Cookies do not necessarily identify you by name. However, information collected through cookies may be linked with other information where this is permitted and necessary for the purposes described in this policy or our Privacy Policy.

2. How Panda Casino uses cookies

Panda Casino may use cookies for several different purposes. The cookies used on a particular page or service can vary depending on the features available, your device, your browser and the choices you make. We aim to use information collected through cookies in a reasonable and transparent way.

• Strictly necessary cookies: These support core website functions, including page navigation, secure login areas, account sessions, fraud prevention, security controls and other features needed for the website or an online service to operate. Disabling these cookies may affect access to essential functions.
• Preference cookies: These remember choices you make, such as language, region, display preferences or other settings, so that you do not need to provide them repeatedly.
• Performance and analytics cookies: These help us understand how visitors use the website, such as which pages are viewed, how visitors move through the site and whether pages or features are working as expected. The information may be used to improve performance, design, content and usability.
• Functionality cookies: These support optional features and may help provide a more personalised or convenient experience. If you do not allow these cookies, some optional features may not work in the same way.
• Security and risk-management cookies: These may assist with detecting unusual activity, protecting accounts, preventing misuse and supporting measures designed to maintain the integrity of the website and services.
• Advertising or marketing cookies: Where used and permitted, these may help measure campaigns, limit repeated advertisements, understand interactions with promotional content or present information that may be more relevant to your interests. These cookies may be provided by Panda Casino or by selected service providers.

Cookies may also be used to support age and identity checks, account protection, transaction security, compliance processes and the prevention of fraud or other prohibited activity. These activities are important for an online gambling service. The use of a cookie does not change any legal, account, verification or responsible gambling requirements that apply to you.

Where third-party tools are used, the relevant provider may process information in accordance with its own terms and privacy documentation. Panda Casino seeks to use appropriate providers for legitimate website, security, measurement and service purposes, but third-party practices may change. You should review the relevant provider information where it is made available.

3. Your choices and cookie controls

When you first visit the website, you may be shown a cookie notice or preference tool. Where required, this tool may allow you to accept optional cookies, reject optional cookies or choose categories individually. Your choices may be saved in a cookie or similar technology so that the preference notice does not appear each time you visit. You can review or change available preferences by using the cookie settings tool when it is provided.

You can also manage cookies through your browser or device settings. Most browsers allow you to view, block, delete or restrict cookies. You may be able to configure your browser to notify you before a cookie is stored, block third-party cookies or remove cookies when the browser is closed. Instructions differ between browsers and devices, so you should check the help or settings area for the browser or device you use.

1. Open the settings or preferences menu in your browser.
2. Locate the privacy, security or website data controls.
3. Review the available options for allowing, blocking or deleting cookies.
4. Apply the settings that match your preferences and revisit the website if necessary.

Blocking or deleting cookies may not stop all data collection and may affect how the website works. In particular, you may be unable to log in, maintain a secure session, use account features, complete certain actions or retain preferences. Some cookies are required for security and core operations and may not be removable through an on-site preference tool. If you use more than one browser or device, you may need to set your preferences separately on each one.

Your cookie choices are separate from your account settings and from responsible gambling controls. Turning off optional cookies does not close an account, cancel a transaction, remove a self-exclusion request or change any account restriction. Those matters must be handled through the relevant account or support process.

4. Information, changes and questions

Cookie-related information may include details such as your device type, browser type, approximate location, IP address, operating system, pages visited, referring page, time spent on pages, actions taken and technical events. The information collected will depend on the cookies and tools active on the website. We may use this information for website operation, security, analytics, service improvement, compliance, marketing measurement and other purposes explained in our Privacy Policy.

Information collected through cookies may be processed by Panda Casino, technology providers, analytics providers, security providers and other service providers acting for legitimate business or operational purposes. Some providers may process information in countries outside Australia. Any handling of personal information is subject to applicable privacy obligations and the arrangements described in our Privacy Policy.

Cookie information may be retained for different periods depending on why it was collected, whether it is needed for security or compliance, and whether it is required to resolve disputes or maintain business records. When information is no longer needed, it may be deleted, anonymised or securely disposed of, subject to applicable legal and operational requirements.

Updates to this policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the website, the cookies and technologies we use, service providers, legal requirements or our business practices. The updated version will be published on this page with a revised date where appropriate. You should check this page periodically so that you remain aware of how cookies may be used. If a change requires a new consent choice, we may present the relevant notice or preference tool again.
